Graduate testimonial
“Deciding to get a second University degree, and fulfilling my dream to study psychology at the age of 28, was a hard decision to make since I had to combine both work and studying. The programme of Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling of the University of Bolton, offered at the New York College, offered me this unique opportunity. This specific academic schedule allowed me to be able to work and at the same time attend all of my lectures. However, having already achieved a University degree is something that made me have very high standards regarding my new studies and NYC was able to meet my criteria. What I enjoyed the most was the several workshops during the classes that gave us the opportunity to simulate real life cases that I will come across in my career. Also, I appreciated the professors, they were always willing to share their knowledge and support us throughout our whole academic journey. Finally, what I can definitely say is that NYC offers a great number of chances for enriching knowledge and experiences. All you just have to do is grab them!”
